From b08f2f2902af113ad163aee31a601777e3a3ab82 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric S. Raymond" Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2004 12:46:54 +0000 Subject: Now, we only exit on not being able to open the GPS in monitor (-n) mode. We keep trying to reopen it, instead. This means that non-monitor mode can be a long-running daemon and survive having the GPS cable unplugged and replugged. --- gpsd.xml | 7 ++++++- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'gpsd.xml') diff --git a/gpsd.xml b/gpsd.xml index 3920d7ae..1685ec70 100644 --- a/gpsd.xml +++ b/gpsd.xml @@ -269,7 +269,12 @@ the replies.
